A False Balance and a Just Weight | Daniel Gordan
Most of us would never consider ourselves dishonest, but our everyday transactions reveal more about our faith than we might expect. Proverbs 11:1 declares that a false balance is an abomination to God, while a just weight is His delight. In ancient times, dishonest merchants would manipulate their scales to cheat buyers, and Solomon places this image at the heart of his wisdom framework as a choi
On the Rollercoaster with Jesus | Dr. Thomas Shepherd
Life rarely moves in a straight line, and Mark chapter 5 gives us two powerful stories that prove it. Jairus, a synagogue ruler, came to Jesus in desperation when his twelve-year-old daughter was dying. On the way, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years reached out and touched Jesus in one quiet, desperate act of faith, and she was instantly healed. While Jesus stopped to honor he
To Tithe or Not to Tithe, That Is the Question | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Tithing is one of the most debated topics in the church, but the book of Malachi offers a surprisingly rich and challenging perspective when read in full context. The people of Israel were withholding their tithes as a protest against a corrupt priesthood, and their frustrations were not entirely without merit. However, God called their withholding robbery, because their decision was harming faith
Trail or Trial | Jon Gusky
The message to the church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3 is one of the most encouraging passages in all of Scripture. Though the church had only a little strength, they kept God's Word and refused to deny His name, and that was enough. Christ, who holds the key of David, promised to open doors no one could shut and to keep them through the coming hour of temptation. True faith is not built on
Keeping Your Eye in the Keyhole | Jon Gusky
The Church of Philadelphia in Revelation received no rebuke from Jesus, only commendation. It was a church with little strength that had stopped trusting in itself and kept God's word without denying His name. Jesus described Himself as the one who holds the key of David, the one who opens what no one can shut and shuts what no one can open. This key points back to Isaiah 22 and a man named El
Don’t Say No | Principal Roger Dunder
Faith grows not only through Scripture but also through the power of testimony. When we share what God has done in our lives, it strengthens others and opens their hearts to believe. A remarkable story from 1992 illustrates this truth. While serving as a missionary in Tanzania, a group of theology students committed to reaching a remote village, and God provided for every need in ways that defied
God Can Do Big Things Pt. 3 | Pr. Tanaka Chogugudza
Every person faces giants, whether fear, failure, or overwhelming circumstances. The story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 reveals why the Israelites were paralyzed with fear and why David was not. Saul had forgotten that his strength came from God, while David carried a personal, proven history with God that gave him unshakable confidence. David did not fight in his own name or with someone e
God Can Do Big Things Pt. 2 | Joel Bennett
David was not a warrior when he faced Goliath. He was a shepherd, shaped by years of quiet faithfulness in the fields, learning to hear God's voice and trust His protection. When he arrived at the Israelite camp and heard Goliath cursing God, his response was not fear but righteous indignation, because his relationship with God was deeply personal. He did not fight in his own strength or wear
God Can Do Big Things Pt. 1 | Kim Spare
True strength is not built overnight, and neither is faith. Just as David faced lions and bears before he ever stood before Goliath, the trials we face today are often building the spiritual strength we will need tomorrow. David's victory with a single stone was not about physical power. It was about a faith that had been tested, proven, and deeply rooted in God. Your testimony does not need t
Jesus, In Between | Pr. Marshall McKenzie
From the Garden of Eden to the cross, God has never been a passive observer in the battles of His people. He has always positioned Himself in between, standing as a shield against the enemy on our behalf. The story of Abraham reveals what happens when we drift from trusting in God's promises and begin relying on our own plans out of fear. Every time Abraham shifted from 'God will' to &
The King is Near. Turn Around! | Pr. Daniel Gordan
The gospel is often reduced to a simple message that God loves you, but Scripture points to something fuller and more demanding. From John the Baptist to Jesus to the apostles, the consistent proclamation was repentance. Repentance in the New Testament means more than returning to a right path. It means turning completely around and changing your entire direction. God's love is not the message
Loving Jesus Is Not Enough | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Loving Jesus is more than a feeling or a song. Jesus makes it clear in John 14:15 that love for Him is expressed through obedience to His commandments. In Mark 12, He identifies the two greatest commandments: loving God with everything you have, and loving your neighbor as yourself. He does not rank one above the other but merges them into a single, unified call. A scribe in the Gospels had the th
1844 and the Power of Hope | Roy Gane
The prophecy of Daniel 8:14 and the 2,300 days is not a mystery reserved for scholars. It is a clear, step-by-step message that reveals exactly where we are in salvation history. Beginning in 457 BC, the 2,300-year prophecy points precisely to 1844, when the heavenly sanctuary began to be vindicated through a judgment in heaven. Jesus came on time at His first advent, and His heavenly ministry beg
The Blessing | Cedric Vine
God has given us profound spiritual blessings that serve as the foundation for both holiness and unity in our lives. These blessings include being chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, instructed in God's will, given an inheritance, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Rather than focusing solely on individual spirituality, these blessings are given to us collectively, making us outward-looking and c
The Blood, Which Speaks Better | Pr. Daniel Gordan
The story of Cain and Abel reveals a dangerous trap many fall into: the need to always be right. While both brothers brought offerings to God, Abel followed God's specific instructions by bringing a lamb, while Cain chose his own way with fruits. When God didn't accept his offering, Cain's wounded pride led him to murder his brother. This contrasts sharply with Jesus, who had every rig
Nabonidus’ 'Dream Within A Dream' and Daniel Chapter 8 | Dr. Randall Younker
Archaeological discoveries reveal that Daniel's vision in chapter 8 follows the same pattern as a Babylonian king's dream - a 'dream within a dream' - the most authoritative type of vision in ancient Mesopotamian culture. In 556 BC, King Nabonidus claimed divine appointment through such a dream, commanding restoration of a pagan sanctuary. Three and a half years later, God gave Dan
Your Struggle May Be a Test | Pr. Daniel Gordan
God's priority is transformation, not immediate relief from our struggles. The Israelites experienced miraculous victories at Jericho through obedience, but when disobedience entered through Achan's sin, miracles became rare and struggles increased. God allowed these difficulties not as punishment, but as tests to see if His people would choose obedience and heart transformation. Jesus exe
Light and Love for Laodiceans Q & A | Pr. Steven Wohlberg
Our spiritual needs and weaknesses aren't obstacles to overcome but currency to exchange for God's grace. When we recognize our desperate need for Jesus, we position ourselves to receive His transforming power. Satan tries to use our awareness of failure against us, but understanding that need is our currency turns his attacks into opportunities for deeper dependence on Christ. Jesus invit
Light and Love for Laodiceans Part 2 | Pr. Steven Wohlberg
The Laodicean message in Revelation 3:14-22 reveals Christ's deep love and desire to prepare His people for eternity. When we think we have no spiritual needs, we become spiritually blind to our true condition. Jesus lovingly diagnoses our spiritual poverty and offers three precious gifts: gold tried in fire representing faith and love, white clothing representing His righteousness, and eye sa
Come, Holy Spirit! | Pr. Steven Wohlberg
In our world of endless opinions and conflicting voices, finding truth seems impossible. Jesus promised that the Spirit of truth would guide us into all truth, offering divine guidance through life's confusion. The Holy Spirit reveals our need for humility, shows us uncomfortable truths about ourselves, and transforms us with supernatural fruits like love, joy, and peace. To receive this guida
Light and Love for Laodiceans Part 1 | Pr. Steven Wohlberg
The Laodicean message in Revelation 3:14-22 represents Christ's loving preparation of His people for the final work of reaching the world. The word Laodiceans means people of judgment, identifying us as the generation living in the time of final judgment. Jesus introduces Himself as the Amen, the final authority in a time of confusion. The problem with being lukewarm isn't about salvation
Willfully Ignorant | Jon Gusky
The Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land serves as a powerful blueprint for our spiritual journey today. Before reaching their destination, Israel tested God ten times through complaints and lack of faith, culminating in their failure to enter the Promised Land at Kadesh-Barnea due to fear of the giants. The Red Sea crossing demonstrates that God's timing and methods are per
A Sounding Brass or a Clanging Cymbal | Pr. Jay Gallimore
In a world that celebrates fighting fire with fire, God calls us to a radically different approach through unselfish love. The Corinthian church was plagued with divisions and conflicts, yet Paul responded not with committees or worldly tactics, but by pointing them to love in 1 Corinthians 13. Even the most impressive spiritual gifts, knowledge, and sacrifices mean nothing without love. True love
Look and Live | Pr. Tanaka Chogugudza
Satan's primary weapon in the last days is deception, particularly self-deception that leads us to believe we can transform ourselves through good works or religious activities. The story of Nicodemus reveals that even respected religious leaders can miss the essential truth of spiritual rebirth. Despite his position and knowledge, Nicodemus had never experienced the transformation that only t
Education Sabbath Part 4 | Annie Reents
We often miss the blessings right in front of us while focusing on what we lack. The Israelites experienced daily miracles in the wilderness - manna from heaven, divine guidance, and supernatural provision - yet they complained and longed for their past in Egypt. Like them, we can become so focused on what's missing that we overlook God's current provision. True contentment comes from appr
Education Sabbath Part 3 | Allison Orsburn
In 1970s Soviet Union, pastor Sergei Petrovich was imprisoned for his faith and placed in solitary confinement without food. For three days, a mysterious cat brought bread to his window - later revealed to be the warden's own cat carrying bread from the warden's wife's kitchen. This miraculous provision convinced the warden that God truly provides for all our needs. Like the biblical a
Education Sabbath Part 2 | Emili Elkine
Peter's denial of Jesus reveals both human weakness and God's incredible mercy. Despite being one of Jesus' closest disciples, Peter crumbled under pressure and denied knowing Jesus three times. Yet after the resurrection, Jesus didn't condemn Peter but instead restored him, asking three times if Peter loved Him and commissioning him to feed His sheep. This story demonstrates that
Education Sabbath Part 1 | Peter Titkov
Life presents us with two types of relationships: penny friends who are casual acquaintances, and quarter friends who are rare, valuable people willing to lift us up when we hit rock bottom. The story of two baby chicks with birth defects illustrates how caring intervention can transform hopeless situations. Similarly, the biblical account of four friends who carried a paralyzed man to Jesus demon
The Last Passover | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Jesus began the Last Supper with the cup, following traditional Passover order that his disciples would have recognized. During this time, Jews lived under Roman oppression and longed for political freedom during Passover celebrations. However, Jesus redefined the meaning of the four traditional Passover cups, showing that true freedom comes not from political deliverance but from redemption throu
The Happiest Day in History! | Dr. Roy Gane
The resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as the most pivotal moment in human history, transforming despair into hope and defeat into victory. Despite Roman guards, official seals, and a massive stone, Jesus rose from the dead exactly as He predicted. The empty tomb, the disciples' dramatic transformation from fearful hiding to bold proclamation, and over 500 witnesses confirm this miraculous ev
Love One Another | Pastor Mike Hess
Christians are called to holiness, which fundamentally means being filled with God's perfect love. Peter's instruction to 'gird up the loins of your mind' calls us to prepare mentally for spiritual warfare against modern distractions that pull us from God. True holiness isn't about following rules but allowing God's love to transform our hearts like a cover crop that chokes
Wisdom or Stupidity? The Parable of the Rich Fool | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Jesus tells the parable of a rich man who built bigger barns to store his abundant harvest, planning to enjoy his wealth for years to come. However, God called him a fool because that very night his life would end. The man's foolishness wasn't in having wealth, but in hoarding it for himself instead of sharing with others. True wisdom comes from being rich toward God rather than storing up
Guaranteed to Grow | Pr. Esther Knott
Spiritual growth requires intentional community, just like a tomato seed needs proper conditions to flourish. The early church in Acts 2 demonstrates this through their commitment to both large group worship and small group fellowship. True spiritual development manifests through the Fruit of the Spirit, using spiritual gifts, living out faith intentionally, and grounding life in worship. Small gr
Where Are Your Feet? | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Psalm 1 reveals the true path to God's blessing through two key principles: avoiding harmful influences and delighting in God's word. The psalm uses the metaphor of walking, standing, and sitting to show how sin gradually takes hold in our lives. Instead of following worldly counsel, blessed people meditate on Scripture day and night, allowing God's truth to shape their thoughts. This
A Man After God’s Own Heart | Pr. Jay Gallimore
David was called a man after God's own heart not because he was perfect, but because of his heart's direction and response to God. While others judged by outward appearance, God saw David's heart - one that trusted in divine solutions rather than human methods, respected God's authority even when mistreated, and remained tender toward God even after failure. David demonstrated this
God’s Reluctant Missionary | Dr. John Taylor
The story of Jonah reveals profound truths about running from God's calling and the consequences of disobedience. When God commanded Jonah to preach to Nineveh, the prophet fled in fear, leading to a dramatic encounter with a storm and a great fish. After three days of prayer in the fish's belly, Jonah finally obeyed and preached to Nineveh, resulting in the entire city's repentance. H
Let Us Bring the Sacrifice of Praise! | Pr. Jay Gallimore
This sermon focuses on preparing for the end times through offering a 'sacrifice of praise' to God, even during suffering and persecution. The pastor emphasizes that mere knowledge of biblical truth will not be sufficient to endure the coming trials - believers must develop a deep, self-sacrificing love for Christ that enables them to praise God even in the midst of difficulty. Drawing fro
The Battle for the Heart | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Solomon teaches us to guard our hearts above all else, as they are the wellsprings of life. Idolatry has evolved from massive public statues to invisible heart idols that create barriers between us and God. While Satan works to establish idols in our hearts, God moves in the opposite direction - from infinite Creator to intimate Holy Spirit dwelling within us. Both are fighting for the same territ
Tried with Fire | Pr. Mike Hess
Christians today often feel like outsiders in a world that increasingly rejects their values, but this feeling is actually evidence of their true identity as citizens of heaven. Peter addressed believers as strangers and elect, explaining that we are born again into a living hope through Jesus' resurrection. While we face various trials in this temporary world, these challenges serve to refine
Why Have You Forsaken Me | Pr. Jay Gallimore
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ represents the most pivotal moment in human history, culminating in His mysterious cry: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? This wasn't merely a feeling of abandonment but a real separation that occurred as Jesus became our substitute, taking upon Himself our burden, guilt, and sin. Though Jesus and the Father had enjoyed perfect unity from eternity, the F
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death | Pr. Mike Hess
True religious liberty goes beyond external freedoms like worship rights and Sabbath observance. The most important battle for religious liberty happens within our hearts as we seek freedom from sin's bondage. Revelation 14 describes 144,000 people who receive God's seal before Christ's return, representing those transformed by His power. While external religious freedom challenges are
The Noblest Purpose | Pr. Jay Gallimore
Jesus' final words to His disciples established the most noble purpose for every believer: becoming witnesses for Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. This divine power isn't about worldly influence but the transformative force of unselfish love. Every person, regardless of background or education, can share their personal testimony of how Jesus has changed their life. The church e
Heaven’s Preview | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Our culture's obsession with heroes and celebrities reflects an ancient Greek tradition of hero worship that has infiltrated modern Christianity. Isaiah 2 warns against trusting in human power and prosperity, declaring that God alone deserves exaltation. The Bible doesn't present heroes but witnesses - people who point others to God rather than drawing attention to themselves. While the wo
Simon, Lovest Thou Me | Pr. Jay Gallimore
The greatest commandment reveals what should be our ultimate core value as Christians: loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. This isn't emotional love, but principled, unselfish love that flows from recognizing God as our moral authority. When Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him, He was asking the same question He asks us today. True love for God naturally overflow
Immanuel – God With Us | Pr. Jay Gallimore
Immanuel means God with us, revealing that our Creator is unselfish love who chose to create and share rather than remain alone. When humanity broke their relationship with God through disobedience, heaven faced an impossible situation where justice demanded punishment while mercy called for restoration. The Son of God offered to become human, live the perfect life we failed to live, and suffer ou
If I Could Touch Him! | Dr. Roy Gane
Jesus, the Creator of the universe, chose to become flesh and dwell among us, making Himself touchable and accessible to humanity. Unlike others who became ritually unclean through contact with impurity, Jesus could touch lepers, eat with sinners, and associate with the outcasts without being defiled. This is because He is the source of all purity - just as a spring remains clean even when contami
The Inconvenient Jesus | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Many people today have created a convenient version of Jesus who never challenges us or makes us uncomfortable. However, the biblical Jesus was far more demanding than our modern image suggests. He told the rich young man to sell everything, called crowds wicked, and rebuked dinner hosts. Jesus operated as King, not as someone seeking our approval. He intentionally delayed helping Lazarus and call
Finishing What He Starts! | Pr. Jay Gallimore
The chaos in our world often makes us wonder how long God will allow suffering to continue. Daniel 8:14 speaks of a 2,300-day prophecy leading to the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, which addresses Satan's accusations against God's character. Christ's death and resurrection provide both justification and sanctification, working to transform believers from the inside out. We have t
Thanksgiving and the Nine’s Disease | Pr. Daniel Gordan
The story of ten lepers healed by Jesus reveals a profound truth about salvation and gratitude. While all ten men were physically healed of their leprosy, only one returned to thank Jesus - a Samaritan who was doubly despised by society. Jesus declared that this man's faith had brought him salvation, not just healing. The difference was thanksgiving. The other nine suffered from what we might
Are You Washed | Pr. Jay Gallimore
Revelation asks the haunting question: who can stand when Jesus returns? As people from all walks of life flee in terror from the Lamb's wrath, God provides an answer through the sealing of His people. The 144,000 represents complete victory - God's ability to transform anyone regardless of their background or character flaws. The great multitude comes out of tribulation by washing their r
Dominion | Pr. Darrel Le Roux
The church stands at a critical moment as we approach Christ's return, requiring three essential elements: faith, humility, and giving God glory. God's desire for dominion isn't about control but restoration, reclaiming what was lost in Eden through sin. The greatest miracle God can perform is the conversion of the human heart, not supernatural signs and wonders. Medical missionary wor
The Last Work for the Last Generation | Pr. Michael Hess
God has called His people to a special work in these last days that goes beyond traditional ministry. This involves living the complete gospel that addresses physical, mental, and spiritual needs. True perfection comes not through human effort but by allowing Jesus to write His character in our minds. Our physical health directly impacts our spiritual connection with God, making our bodies temples
The Right to Belong | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Every human being is created in God's image because He is our Father, just as children bear their parents' likeness. When Adam and Eve sinned, humanity lost the right to be God's children and became spiritual orphans. Jesus, the eternal Word who existed before creation, came as the light of the world to restore what was lost. Though many rejected Him, those who receive Jesus are given
Like Hand in Glove | Pr. Stephen Bohr
Revelation 17 presents a powerful vision of a great harlot representing an apostate church that has forsaken Christ for worldly alliances. This symbolic woman sits on many waters, which represent peoples and nations under her influence. The chapter reveals how three interconnected powers - political rulers, the apostate religious system, and daughter churches - will unite to destroy God's peop
Where Can Wisdom Be Found | Pr. Elias Brasil
In our information-rich age, we face the same question Job asked: Where can wisdom be found? Despite unprecedented access to knowledge, humanity hasn't grown proportionally wiser. Job 28 reveals that wisdom cannot be extracted through technology or purchased with wealth. True wisdom comes only from God and is found through fearing the Lord and departing from evil. The New Testament shows us th
The Power of ‘My Fault’ | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Judah's story in Genesis 38 reveals how repentance can transform even the most fallen person into someone God uses mightily. Despite his forbidden marriage, abandonment of family responsibilities, and moral failures, Judah's honest confession when confronted with his sin marked the beginning of his transformation. When he declared that Tamar was more righteous than he was, choosing truth o
Like Hand in Glove | Pr. Stephen Bohr
Revelation 17 presents a powerful vision of a great harlot representing an apostate church that has forsaken Christ for worldly alliances. This symbolic woman sits on many waters, which represent peoples and nations under her influence. The chapter reveals how three interconnected powers - political rulers, the apostate religious system, and daughter churches - will unite to destroy God's peop
Pain, Grief, and Forgiveness | Pr. Jay Gallimore
When someone wrongs us, we face a choice between vengeance and forgiveness. While the world encourages getting even, Christian faith demands forgiveness—with no exceptions. This forgiveness is rooted in two essential principles: we forgive because God has forgiven us, and we trust God with justice rather than seeking vengeance ourselves. Sin causes God pain, yet He forgives us. The communion servi
The Echo of God | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Imitation is a fundamental aspect of Christian life, as Paul urges believers to 'be imitators of God as beloved children.' True imitation requires knowing God personally and reflecting His character in our lives. We were originally created in God's image, designed to be His echo in the world. When we imitate God as His beloved children, we follow Christ's example of sacrificial lov
God, Gomer, Guilt, and Grace | Dr. Richard Davidson
The book of Hosea delivers a powerful message about God's relentless love despite human unfaithfulness. Through the prophet's marriage to Gomer, God illustrates His relationship with Israel, who had turned to Baal worship. Despite Israel's spiritual adultery, God promises not punishment but restoration—transforming the Valley of Achor into a door of hope. He pledges to 'betroth'
God’s Special Treasure | Pr. Judy Mathers
God sees us as His special treasure, but this identity comes with a condition: obedience to His voice and keeping His covenant. Many believers have wandered from God's presence, replacing Him with worldly distractions and addictions. However, God's goodness leads us to repentance, and through Christ's blood, we can experience healing and restoration. As God's special treasure, we a
Worthy Is the Lamb! | Pr. Jay Gallimore
Breaking the Seven Seals explores how Jesus guides His church through history's challenges. The vision in Revelation 5 shows Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb who alone is worthy to open the sealed scroll containing the great controversy between good and evil. As each seal breaks, we witness the church facing different trials: the four horsemen representing early church challenges, martyrs crying
Thinking Like Jesus, Thinking Right | Pr. Daniel Gordan
In a world where many people consume content without truly thinking, Christians are called to develop the mind of Christ. Paul contrasts God's wisdom with worldly wisdom, emphasizing that the mind of Christ comes through the Holy Spirit, not through education or self-improvement. This supernatural thinking prioritizes spiritual truth over social approval and self-gratification. While the Corin
Always Before My Face! | Pr. Jay Gallimore
The secret to spiritual victory lies in setting the Lord always before your face through constant communion with Him. Jesus demonstrated this practice by keeping His eyes fixed on the Father, which enabled Him to overcome every temptation. This continuous awareness of God's presence is achieved through rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in everything. When we surrende
King Jesus and the Problem of Tyranny | Pr. Cedric Vine
In a culture deeply skeptical of authority, Jesus offers a revolutionary model of leadership. By uniting the roles of judge, priest, king, and prophet, Jesus could have become the ultimate tyrant. Instead, at His baptism, God declared Him both King (Psalm 2:7) and Servant (Isaiah 42:1). Throughout His ministry, Jesus consistently rejected power without service, even when tempted by Satan in the wi
What Does the Lord Require of You | Pr. Roy Gane
The story of the rich young ruler explores the profound question of inheriting eternal life. Despite his wealth and status, this young man sensed something missing and sought Jesus for answers. Jesus challenged him to move beyond rule-following to a deeper commitment—selling his possessions, giving to the poor, and following Christ. This encounter reveals that eternal life isn't earned through
The Neurology of Victory | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Peter instructs believers to long for God's Word with the same intensity that babies crave milk—with urgency and complete focus. Our brains constantly rewire themselves through neuroplasticity, forming pathways that become stronger with repetition. When we experience pleasure, dopamine reinforces our desires, but many harmful stimuli can hijack this system. The profound exchange between Jesus
The God Who Stops For You | Pr. Junior Vertus
In Luke 19, we meet Zacchaeus, a wealthy chief tax collector who felt empty despite his riches and status. Determined to see Jesus, he overcame obstacles—including a hostile crowd and his short stature—by climbing a sycamore tree. When Jesus spotted him, He called Zacchaeus by name and invited Himself to his house. This personal encounter transformed Zacchaeus completely, leading him to give half
Teach Us How to Count | Pr. Paul Ratsara
Learning to count our days correctly means living with the awareness that our time is limited. The Bible warns against assuming we have tomorrow, as seen in Proverbs 27:1 and James 4:13-16. When we count wrongly, we tend to delay obedience, postpone reconciliation, and procrastinate in sharing the gospel. Instead, we should approach each day as if it were our last, holding our plans loosely while
He’s Knocking. Will You Set the Table? | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Jesus stands at the door of our hearts, knocking to come in and dine with us. Through the stories of Martha and Mary and the Samaritan woman, we learn that Jesus' favorite meal isn't physical food but our attentive listening, heart transformation, and obedient response to His teaching. When we open our hearts to Him, we must 'set the table' by giving Him our full attention, allowin
Egypt to Canaan with Consequences – First Moves | Eldr. Jon Gusky
God's timing and purpose often differ from our expectations, as demonstrated in Israel's journey from Egypt to Canaan. Before promising Abraham countless descendants, God first declared Himself as Abraham's greatest reward—a reminder that our relationship with God should be our primary focus. The 400-year slavery in Egypt served multiple divine purposes: giving the Amorites time to rep
Where Is the God of Justice | Pr. Jay Gallimore
In Malachi, the Israelites questioned God's justice, asking where He was amid evil and suffering. God's response was both a promise and a warning: He would come, but who could endure His perfect justice? The answer lies in the harmony of justice and mercy, perfectly demonstrated in Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus absorbed the justice we deserved, offering forgiveness even to those who cr
Prerequisites to a New World, Part 3 | Jon Gusky
The story of Noah reveals profound lessons for our time, not just a children's tale about animals on a boat. Noah walked with God daily for 120 years, preaching righteousness while building the ark, yet only eight people were saved. His faithfulness despite apparent failure demonstrates true discipleship isn't measured by numbers but by obedience. The ark itself symbolizes God's atonem
Prerequisites to a New World, Part 2 | Kimberly Spare
Noah's story teaches us about the prerequisites for entering God's new world. Like Noah, we must maintain communication with God, accept His invitation to salvation, and extend that invitation to others. We often try to negotiate with God rather than fully obeying, but obedience—though sometimes uncomfortable like life on the ark—is always safer than compromise. When God calls us to an ass
Prerequisites to a New World, Part 1 | Kaden Spare
Noah's faithfulness to God's call, despite not fully understanding it, saved humanity and gave us a second chance. What set Noah apart was his strong foundation in the Lord, which gave him strength and perseverance to complete an impossible task while others continued in sin. Many of us make excuses about time, money, or equipment when God calls us to build our 'arks.' However, like Noah, we must
The Ultimate Call | Pr. Oleg Lotca
God has appointed His people as watchmen to warn the world of spiritual dangers in these last days. The Three Angels' Messages of Revelation 14 contain the entire gospel and unmask Satan's deceptions. Literature distribution plays a crucial role in spreading this final warning, with books like 'The Great Controversy' having special importance. Even when books aren't immediately
Share What You Know – Which Is A Lot! | Pr. Roy Gane
Salvation comes through a living faith that works through love, not just intellectual belief. Jesus calls us to total commitment, demonstrated by loving God and loving others as He loved us. The Holy Spirit's most important work is transforming our hearts by pouring God's love into them. As we behold Christ, we're changed into His image, becoming more loving. We're called to share
If You Would Be Perfect | Pr. Jay Gallimore
Pastor Gallimore investigates Mark 10's story of the rich young ruler, and Jesus's command to sell all his possessions, take up his cross and follow him. We are called to pursue perfection, even though it seems impossible – and without God, it is impossible. But God transforms our hearts if we sacrifice everything to him, like Abraham did. We are called to trust the law and pursue God'
His Body, His Blood, Our Redemption | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Satan lied to Adam and Eve, promising them that if they ate the Forbidden Fruit, they would be like God. He sets up a worldview of grabbing and lusting for power in rebellion against God. But in the Passover feast, Jesus showed his disciples how to really become like God. Pastor Gordan explains how Jesus set an example of servitude: how his love and compassion can be our own as well.
The Million Dollar Prayer | Pr. Daniel Gordan
Daniel's unwavering commitment to prayer, even when it became illegal under King Darius's decree, demonstrates the true value of a consistent prayer life. Despite knowing he would face the lions' den, Daniel maintained his thrice-daily prayer routine with windows open toward Jerusalem. His faithfulness cost him everything temporarily but ultimately influenced the king to acknowledge th
